Charles Bullock Hazzard ’42

"Hap" died Mar. 10, 2004, of congestive heart failure in Providence, R.I.

He prepared at the Millbrook School and majored in civil engineering at Princeton, where he was president of the civil engineering society, very active in intramural sports, and a member of Elm Club.

In 1942 Hap married Patsy W. Peabody before serving in the Pacific theater with the Navy Construction Battalion (the Seabees). After WWII Hap, a lieutenant commander, was recalled to DC to take charge of protective construction for atomic war defense — an important assignment in post-WWII Ameri-ca. In the meantime, Hap and Pat had Peter.

Hap's upwardly mobile business career, which began in 1947, included 10 years with IBM in production control, purchasing, and selling; five years as director of marketing for the Electro-Optical Division of Perkin-Elmer on "secret projects"; a stint with Itek as director of marketing-government business; and finally several years with Raytheon in Burlington, Mass., as manager of new business development, from which he retired in 1982 to move to Savannah. There Hap joined a real estate firm that cited him for "exceptional [marketing] accomplishments." Four years ago he and Pat moved to Providence.

The class extends deepest sympathy to Pat and Peter.
